A tailless airplane is one where everything needed to fly, like lift, control, and stability, is built into the main wing. The Weather Vane It mostly comes from the vertical stabilizer (fin) and the sides of the fuselage behind the center of gravity. In level flight, the aircraft is adjusted so that the wingtips dont add lift.

Lift is the force that aircraft use to counter gravity. Newton’s Third Law is one of the key laws of physics that explains lift. Lets see what Newtons Third Law is, and why we need it to understand lift. This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly.

The airfoil is a Harry Riblett shape, giving modernized flow separation on the leading edge for a soft stall yet with good lift and drag performance. The takeoff technique is conventional taildragger—add full power, let the tail come up, then lift off when you get above Vmc. lb/sq ft Power loading 10.32
